The Liberals' poor showing in the central Newfoundland riding -- they lost by only 742 votes -- came as a shock to most observers.Center-left governments are falling from the sky like hail-stones. Spain, Italy, France, soon, perhaps, even in Germany--Schroder's party took a pasting in Saxony recently, a portent of things to come. Ever so slightly, the pedulum swings to the right. But why, I ask you? Why? Why just now?
I hope that the Canadian Alliance will ride this swing to the right all the way to power.
Because people arent stupid and are realizing that they will view Middle Eastern people diffrently and we dont want them running amock in our country. And when the next attack occurs, and it will, and if its on the scale that 9/11 was on then expect a lot of violence directed against those people and some because they didnt assimilate into our culture and are scaring the shit out of a good portion of the American population by not speaking out about it but will sure damn get loud and emotional when they lie about 5,000 people being supposedly murdered.
Well, the process had already been slowly bubbling under the surface all over the world for some time, simply because socialism, whereever it is practiced, is doomed to eventually collapse under its own weight. The leaders of socialist governments continually try to accumulate more and more power for themselves, and tax more and more to pay for their schemes, and at some point the citizens simply will not take it any more. But at the rate it was going, it could have been at least another couple decades before things started seriously turning rightward in Europe, Canada and elsewhere.
Then 9/11 happened. That's all it took. It caused an instantaneous change in the worldwide Zeitgeist. Before, everyone had become lazy, carefree and generally of the belief that we'd hit "the end of history" and fallen into a system of worldwide political stability that was more or less permanent. And in one day, everyone woke up and realized that it's not true at all. There's a political system out there called Islamism, and it's completely incompatible with both American-style democracy and European-style democratic socialism. It wants to destroy us both. Thus we have to destroy it.
America's government and America's citizens both understand this and are preparing for it. The socialist countries' citizens are starting to wake up to this, but their leaders are trying to bury their heads in the sand. THAT is what's causing the far more rapid shift to the right by their voters.
